Ingredients
Scale
Eggs
- 6 large eggs
Filling
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Garnish
- Chili powder for garnish
Instructions
- Hard Boil the Eggs: Simmer the eggs in water for 10-12 minutes until fully cooked and yolks are set.
- Cool and Peel: Transfer the eggs to an ice water bath to cool completely, making them easier to peel without damaging the whites.
- Prepare the Eggs: Slice each egg in half lengthwise and carefully remove the yolks, setting the whites aside.
- Make the Filling: In a bowl, mash the yolks with ripe avocado, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.
- Fill the Egg Whites: Spoon or pipe the avocado mixture evenly into the hollowed-out egg white halves.
- Garnish: Sprinkle a pinch of chili powder over each filled egg half for a subtle kick and decorative finish.
Notes
- Use ripe avocados for the creamiest filling.
- Adjust the amount of lemon juice to your taste to balance the avocado’s richness.
- For extra texture, add finely chopped herbs like chives or cilantro to the filling.
- Chill the finished deviled eggs for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
- These are best served within a day for freshness.
